Happy Monday Morning Activity

Published on August 11, 2008 in La la la. 2 Comments

My dread for Mondays has got me up to a new routine before i go to work.

First, the alarm on my hand phone rings
But not just any old alarm tone
Rather,
A soothing increase in sounds of bells that, well,
Make me think of fairy bells :xsilly:

If i die die also cannot wake up
A clanging one on my old school alarm clock is staged to ring at the ULTIMATE last snoozing time
Which i place 4 feet from my bed
As long as i don’t trip over my books/handbags by the side of my bed,
I will be alive and well for work

While i shower
I blast Regina Spektor’s Fidelity and dance in the bathroom
As long as i don’t slip while attempting to shower and dance at the same time,
i’ll be okay too >.<

In the car, i’ll blast happy songs like
Ben Lee’s Catch My Disease
and
Belle and Sebastian’s For The Price of a Cup of Tea

Oh yeah, i’ve also started giving more way to people on the road and waving thanks all the time
(Read: practicing good road karma)
I figure the good karma i spread on the road will prevent me from getting into an accident, and having green lights all the way (i usually do :xlaughing: )

 

Of Colours and Numbers

I was standing on the side of the road in the middle of Ampang when i happened to glance down at what i’m guessing used to be colourful fans..?

Broken Colour

So it’s broken. And the beige bits look shabby. But the colour still maintain.
:xwinky:

*****************************

I just sent BenBen for his first service yesterday when his mileage hit 1,000 km.
Before that, i noticed a particular number it hit that i *had* to take a picture of.

888

Damn ong right :xlaughing:

 

A New Night Activity After Work

Published on July 17, 2008 in La la la and Women. 0 Comments

I have discovered a new hobby after work!

I know, i still have my events and meetings, but i skip them when i can (damn. i’m outgrowing the events…) and try to squeeze in dinners to relax, Me time, or KBF-blog time.

Anyway, my new hobby is… getting a massage after work.
Okay.
It’s not really a hobby because one can only get so many massages without some physical backlash (getting too many ain’t too good for you either!).

So far, i usually go for my massages over the weekend, but of recent i’ve tried two new things:
1. Male masseuse
2. Massage after work

It started when i went for one with DarlingDhanya and they only had male masseuse available.
Not being fussy or stuffy about it, i went ahead with the massage and it was fantastic.
There *is* a difference between being massaged by tiny female fingers and large male ones!

Craving bolognese from Delicious all afternoon at work, i caught Dhanya for dinner and set my appointment just as we were about to finish.
“Is… *whispers to Dhanya - who’s your usual guy? Jo?* Is Jo in today? No? Oh okay, can i have Andy then… ok cool, 11:30.”

I put down the phone and turned to Dhanya, “… what i just said sounded kinda dodge…”

On a note totally unrelated to massages, check out The Nut Graph, coming soon.

Read her post *here*.
It’s excellent, i kid you not.

Oh and i’m loving some of the entries for the Heineken/Chelsea FC contest so far, might put some up over the weekend to inspire the rest of you - they made me guffaw outright.

 

Oh Man.

M.I.A. for 2 Days

Published on July 9, 2008 in La la la and Uncategorized. 2 Comments

I’ve been out of action for two days cos i got hit by food poisoning late Mon night/early Tues morning.
I don’t even remember the last time i *had* food poisoning… i must’ve been in school!

“Does it hurt here?” the doctor asked pressing the right side of my stomach.
“No… a bit to the left.”
“Okay, so it’s not your appendix.”
“Oh thank God no.”
“Here?” he pressed the middle of my lower stomach.
“Yessss… ARghhhhhhhhhh. YES. (okay you can stop pressing now!!!)”
“You got food poisoning,” he stated, jotting down notes for my prescription, “I’m giving you tablets to take before eating, that should stop the pain and diarrhea.”
As he wrote it down, i thought forlornly, Damn. I wish it was cough mixture instead >.<

At first i lost weight from the ordeal, now the medication is not making me lose anything… and i feel bloated instead.

-_-

***************

I walked into Topshop one day, scouting for new bright bikinis to make up for my loss in bright hair.
One of the sales guys gave me a big smile as i walked past.
Uh-oh, i smiled back.
“Hey! How’ve you been :xhappy: “ he chirped.
“Good…” i slowly replied, urging my ailing memory to jump start a lil something.
Oh dammit. Who’s this. I don’t remember. But then again, i always don’t remember!

I decided to drop the game of ‘yeah i know you!’ and went, “Erm okay, i’m sorry, i don’t remember where we’ve met.”
“… I’ve seen you before, do you come here a lot?”
“Er… not to this outlet, no.”
“… Erm.”
“Did i meet you outside of here elsewhere?”
“No…”

“Oh, Okay! I thought you were saying hi cos you’re my friend’s friend that i met and i didn’t remember,” i blabbered away.

Turns out Topshop just has really friendly salespeople -_-

I was commenting to DarlingDhanya why Indian dudes (my friends included) like to call each other ‘Joe’ or ‘Mike’
You know, like ‘Hey, Joe, wassup la!” or ‘Mike, can you pass me that drink ar?’

“I don’t get it -_-”
“Hey, i’m* Indian and *i* don’t get it!” she exclaimed, “You know, maybe they got the ‘mate’ in Australia sounding wrong, like one Indian dude thought it’s ‘Hey Mike!’ when it’s ‘Hey mate!’ and everyone went from there!”
“Hahaha! That. Actually. Makes. Sense…”

 

Pre-Rainforest Fest

Random news for my own part.

1. Three people cried to me.
Not that i mind. If friends want to cry to me, by all means.
I just felt like counselor for the day.

2. Nell got robbed in Pavilion.
By knife point. Plus, after she got robbed of her parking ticket as well, they made her pay for penalty to get OUT of parking.

Wait.

First, you charge us so much for (unsafe) parking, than you don’t sympathize with the fact she got robbed?

What stupid rubbish.

3. I be going for Rainforest Fest!

I thought i wasn’t going at first due to other commitments and work, but it’s over the weekend so we’re going to rock it. Also, i didn’t have a place to stay initially, and was going to sleep with Kevin (which doesn’t matter unless he wants to sleep with another guy 0_-).

When JustinLim smsed me about letting go a cabin, i grabbed it straight away. DO YOU KNOW how tough it is to get accommodation after January?! So yes. I have a two-bedroom cabin/4 beds for four nights (Thurs to Sun) and people to find last minute to share it with well, us (we’re staying Fri to Sun).

Us meaning: SpankyCammy and i.

It’s in Camp Permai.
We’re gonna decorate it with streamers and make it a happy place!
Cammy even came up with names for us to have whilst we’re there - Clappy Cammy and Fun Fairy!
SarChan’s gonna be Slapstick Sarah!
Mary’s Magical Mary, ha ha!

So. If you’re looking for a place to stay during Rainforest Fest, contact me and we’ll see whether you’re happy enough to stay at Happy Hut.

:xlaughing:
